Intro:
D   G   A7   D
D   G   A7   D


                           G      A7
All the snow has turned to water,
                             D
Christmas days have come and gone.
               G             A7      
Broken toys and faded colours are all 
                     D
that's left to linger on.
                         G           
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops,
A7
                         D
For they always bring me tears.
                            G        
I can't forgive the way they robbed me
      A7             D
of my childhood souvenirs.



Chorus:
A7                      D
Memories, they can't be boughten.
A7                                 
They can't be won at carnivals for 
D
free.
A7                       D
Well it took me years to get those 
souvenirs,
     G                               
And i don't know how they slipped away
     A7
from me.


  D                      G        A7
Broken hearts and dirty windows
                       D
Make life difficult to see.
                              G      
That's why last night and this morning
 A7
                        D
Always look the same to me.
                           G        
And I hate reading old love letters 
A7
                         D
For they always bring me tears.
                           G         
I can't forget the way they robbed me,
A7
                        D
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs.




A7                      D
Memories, they can't be boughten.
A7                                 
They can't be won at carnivals for 
D
free.
A7                       D
Well it took me years to get those 
souvenirs,
     G                               
And i don't know how they slipped away
     A7
from me.
